“Americans are entitled to express their opinions for and against all matters of society,” the group said in a statement to FOX 4. “However, we urge demonstrators to not allowhate and fear to guide their actions, but rather balance knowledge and open hearts.”

I wish they would begin declaring that message to the Islamic terrorists they support rather than law abiding Americans!

Over the past year, Irving has been the center of where Islamists have been trying to raise the ante of societal jihad.

The leader of a group of armed anti-Islam protesters in Texas listed the names and addresses of dozens of local Muslims and “Muslim sympathizers” on its Facebook page. Tensions in north Texas erupted after the Nov. 13 Paris attacks by the Islamic State (ISIS).

The people named on the list, which was posted by David Wright III — the leader of the protest designed to intimidate Muslims — were those who had asked the Irving City Council not to support the “American Laws for American Courts” bill, backed by Mayor Beth Van Duyne, because it would go against their religion.

The atmosphere at last week’s protest was “very threatening. They had AR-15 [rifles], they had their faces covered,” Alia Salem, executive director of the Dallas-Fort Worth branch of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said, according to the Guardian.

Salem also reportedly said that CAIR has “gotten a large increase in hate-crime reporting” since the Paris attacks that killed 130 people and injured hundreds others. She also reportedly said that at two events, she herself was verbally abused. Torn pages of the Quran were also thrown at a mosque in the Austin suburb of Pflugerville.

CAIR’s national headquarters in Washington issued a statement Tuesday saying it “has received more reports about acts of Islamophobic discrimination, intimidation, threats, and violence targeting American Muslims (or those perceived to be Muslim) and Islamic institutions in the past week and a half than during any other limited period of time since the 9/11 terror attacks.”

It attributed the increase to “the Paris attacks and to the mainstreaming of Islamophobia by political candidates and lawmakers in the run-up to the 2016 general election” as well as several politicians calling for the U.S. to stop accepting Syrian refugees, who are fleeing ISIS violence in the Middle East.

ISIS has a thing for killing and enslaving Christians. When Pamela Geller held her Draw Mohammed Art Exhibit in Garland, Texas and was attacked, it came as no surprise that the Jihadists were connected to ISIS. As Obama keeps the borders open and flies in hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees the attacks on Christians will get more frequent and more deadly here in the United States. Garland was just the first. A lot more are coming. Pamela lives under the constant threat of death now. Obama is refusing to call the cleansing in the Middle East of Christians genocide. I wonder what he’ll call it here. Acceptable? ISIS is actively recruiting youth in northern Texas. I’m sure that’s not just for kicks. This is not going to end well.

Following the attacks in Garland, TX, ISIS just released a statement that they intend to continue killing Christians in America, and that the next attack will “be harsher and worse.”

“We say to the defenders of the cross, the U.S., that future attacks are going to be harsher and worse…The Islamic State soldiers will inflict harm on you with the grace of Allah. The future is just around corner,” the terrorist group state on Al Bayan radio.

Shoebat.com reported that “the attack in Garland Texas was carried out by ISIS lone wolves.”The two men involved, one of which was Elton Simpson, converted to Islam in 2010. He had links to ISIS, and was taking order from a terrorist in Minnesota, named Mohamed Abdullahi Hassan. He was know for his attempts to recruit other Americans to the cause.

More than a year ago, Shoebat.com warned that ISIS was planning revenge attacks in the United States, and particularly in Texas. And now it has been revealed that Simpson was investigated in 2006, and ultimately let go.

“The possibility that the defendant did in fact intend to go to Somalia to engage in violent jihad exists, as the defendant never presented an alternative reason for going there,” the court wrote. “However, that is not the defendant’s burden and as stated, the Government has not established beyond a reasonable doubt that the Defendant had such intentions.”

This attack will likely not stand alone. According to the Texas law department, there have been several posts by jihadists expressing interest in the US-Mexican border and surrounding states, with “calls for border infiltration.”

What do you think? Is it time we started taking these attacks seriously?

GOP Presidential front runner Donald Trump has pointed out that the threat that ISIS poses is in how they use the Internet “far better than we do.” Breitbart News reported that Trump said we have to not only be a force on the Internet, but take it over to beat ISIS. He told Breitbart Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon on Sirius XM’s Breitbart News Daily Radio program, “at some point they’re not going to go over to fight for ISIS over there, they’re going to stay right here and fight for ISIS.” And that is exactly right. You now have ISIS in all 50 states. The FBI has over 1,000 current investigations into ISIS related activity here in the US. The refugees that are coming in surely have ISIS militants in their midst. This is a ticking time bomb about to go off in multiple cities across the nation. The Dallas FBI Chief said that other cities face similar threats. “The threat’s not going to go away. It will morph into different areas I’m sure, but we’re in for the battle of a lifetime really.” It’s definitely the battle of our lifetime, no doubt about it.
